A dry county is where the state does not allow the sale of or consumption of alcohol. The majority of these counties are in the south. There are also smaller places who abide by the same rules, and these are known as dry cities.

There is no Tornado County in the US. Perhaps you meant Tornado Alley, an area of high tornado activity in the US. It is located in the Midwest, across the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Tornado Alley has high tornado activity as this is where the cool, dry air of the Rockies meet with the warm, dry air of the Southwest deserts, and the warm, moist air of the Gulf of Mexico, generating violent thunderstorms.

What is the most populated county in North Carolina?

The largest county in North Carolina, according to US Government census data is Robeson County at 948.84 square miles, followed closely by Sampson County at 945.45 square miles. The area of the two is so close that which one is considered the largest is often contested and has gone back and forth as new surveys have revised previous ones.
